Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Nexus
We use Cisco Nexus gear for our core network services in our datacenter. Nexus switches have enabled us provide all services from a central switching stack and reduce necessary switches in our environment.
Pros
- 10g copper, 1g copper, SFP fibre, switch stacking, cable balancing
- Extremely good network speeds, and easy administration of switch config
- Excellent integration to Cisco monitoring and config backup software
Cons
- Some limited switch commands on the lower 3k series
- Quite costly versus catalyst series that has most all the hardware and software features
- For those that like cloud management these don't include this
- Cabling options
- Monitoring
- Extremely stable and reliable
- We have been very successful with network uptime
- It's has always met our future needs to date when adding new data center hardware
- We have had these for almost 5 years and it still has support available to ensure maximum ROI before we need to regreen it
Cisco Nexus switches are the Cadillac in switching. All the other switching we have and use is for lesser demanding requirements and for most cost effective implementations.
